If you have made changes to files that you think are ready to be put on the main design tool file, you will need to test them first. You can do this on the AguaClara Beta Server. This is located on the computer in the AguaClara lab that faces the white board. Ask the design team leader for the username and password.
- Go to My Documents and create a folder that has the file you want to test. It is recommended that you test one file at a time. Copy and paste the most up to date versions of the other files that you are not testing that are needed for the design tool to work (located in the Final Designs folder on Sourceforge).
- Open the AguaClara Server which is under My Documents.
- Under MathCAD Directory, find the folder you created in step 1, double click on AguaClara Design Tool, click on the Variable Naming Guide, and open Design Tool .
- Open the AguaClara Design Tool on another computer.
- Log in using your Cornell email (you must use your Cornell email!)
- Select Create New Projects and leave all the input values as their default values.
- Go to the errors tab and click on AguaClara Server. Make sure it changes to Beta Server.
- Select Design Plant and check the AutoCAD Drawing and variables that are sent to you via email.
- Change other input values and design plants using them over a wide range to make sure your code still works.
- Ask for permisison to move your file to the main folder.
General Things that are Good to Know for Beta Server:
- If a new version if availble, download it and SAVE it (don't just run it, it won't work.)
- To reload the server, hit the Stop Button. When it is stopped, you will see an arrow in the top left. Click this to restart the Server.
- You must stop the server to make any changes to the MathCAD Files. While it is on, it has control over the MathCAD files and will get confused if you try to fix them.
